England's pleasant dreaming

Less good - program is decidedly slim-line compared to past extravaganzas.

Good - looks like there's some really good stuff on the program* ( week 1 / 2 / 3)

Irritating - their website is a miracle of minimalism, which doesn't tell you which things are on on which day, or in which slot so you can, you know, turn up to see them.

Good - big screen of Olympic goodness in the square. 'Trafalgar square is like London's living room' is one of those phrases that you hear all the time, and it's pleasing to me when it turns out to be more-than-usually true.
